New year

As the year draws to a close and I'm certainly looking forward to better year to come. It's caused me to review my last year.

In the last 12 months I've been diagnosed with both ASD and ADHD (inattentive) which is still waiting a medication decision, I also had my previous diagnosis of TRD confirmed and shrugged at (We've tried everything (apparently) that they do in our health area) but still I persist.

I've had several unproductive brushes with the NHS for various things. (Including many canceled appointments at short notice)

I've been in a serious car crash which resulted in a scrapped car (which I was fond of) and a severe concussion.

Therapy has continued to be a blessing and a curse.

To say it's been challenging would be an understatement. (Sorry for the negativity)

Anyway, onwards and upwards. I wish you all the best for the forthcoming year.

  • Happy new year, 2026.

    I can't quite believe it. I remember when 1999 seemed a long way in the future.

    Like  , it has been a tough year. Burnout, deep self analysis, psychologists, counsellors, assessment, ASD report, blood tests, eye injections, MRI. My car of 21 years got sold (my only status symbol). Reframing my past has been hard with lots of emotions.

    But it's done now. I am getting better.

    Only the eye stuff continues but I think they might stop jabbing me for a while. Otherwise I am in reasonable shape.

    I found this site too. It has been interesting and helpful. I might even have said the odd thing that other people got something out of.

  • That sounds like a lot to have dealt with in one year Stuart - I hope that 2026 is a little easier for you.
